The Future of the Rep System

[John_8581]

Not sure if this should go in here or in the Members section - the FreeOnes Weekly Top 5 thread. As it is relative to the topic, let's put it here.

(The eight hundred pound gorilla in the room)

I hope all of you can realize how much of a joke this is ....

@mentator75 in 162 days needed 18,100 posts to pass @Slowhand69. To pass me, he needed 7,800 posts.

Garbage in. Garbage out.

I didn't think of that from that perspective. What you're saying does make perfect sense. I've never had a fake account anywhere. Let's throw Juicy Bunny's idea out.

Into the dustbin of history it goes.

The Rep System has become a travesty. The stats show, some push a flood of posts into the forum daily, that appear simply to have the goal to collect Rep. I say:

Flip the switch, drop this once fun add-on.

Somebody answer me this question, and I think I'm particularly interested in hearing from those who are at the top of the rep 'league'.

Does rep score matter? And if so, why? I just want to get some opinions on this and, again, all opinions are welcomed and crapping on them will not be tolerated. So behave.

Would you leave if it was dumped? Would it actually encourage you to post more?

I didn't pay attention to it until Gmase brought to my attention that I had taken the lead. And beyond a feeling of "Well, that's cool my posts were enjoyed to that degree," making me and the effort to come in here and post stuff appreciated, especially now when rep seems to be the only way this is shown, I don't really care about the scores. Having the likes and loves in my alert feed is plenty to feel appreciated, which is why I said just remove the points from it but let us use the reactions as much as we want.

I wouldn't leave because it was dumped, but if it was completely removed, I would probably post less, just because I don't have the time I used to and I won't have the feedback that what I'm doing is being appreciated. So I'd use that time for something else more worthwhile.

 

[Supafly]

We got very used to the quick and easy "Click"-Reward-System. What should we do without it?

Crazy idea: Write an answer stating what we like (Or not), and actually thank the others, instead of the Junk-Food version of reacting to something we feel a certain kind of way about.

 

[mentator75]

personally, I'm giving out more "Like"s now, especially to RichfetisH

 

[Supafly]

Yeah, well, don't get me wrong, but you are playing some weird games regarding the Reputation system. When or If we switch back to posting rather than Repping, it will help you snap outta that

Part of the problem with appreciation posts is it can disrupt a thread's flow. And some members have also believed that a thread should be 10000% focused on adding content to the topic, with -0% deviation from the purpose of posting additional content.

Now I can understand that in the niche and fetish threads, but in the babe threads, where we're supposed to be able to talk about them too, throwing in an appreciation post would be fine, as they tend to also revolve around the subject looking great. Yet so many of these threads have also devolved to just posting pics and links so that it feels wrong, disruptive, to post anything else.

I tend to agree with all that, plus, if members start posting a bunch of appreciation posts, it would probably spark posts from some who don't appreciate a pic/link, and things would slowly devolve into some trolling in the Favorites. I really don't want to have to go thru that again.

Hello.

After recent discussions among staff and recent events on the forum regarding behaviour surrounding the rep system, we have been discussing what we should do with it, if anything.

So we want to hear your thoughts. The floor is open for all opinions. We are simply canvassing for opinions - NO DECISION HAS BEEN MADE ONE WAY OR ANOTHER.

And please be civil.

I don't know what the rep system is because I've only been here a day or three, but one thing I've always wished for was the ability to filter out certain aspects of porn vids from the main feed based on your own preferences. I don't know how big a job that might be or if a simple Ai bot could do it in a second.
Say you don't like lesbians and don't want to have to skip over it , you just flat out want it removed. Either by catagory or gender, sexuality , race etc. really personalize it to what your into? Anyone else ever wonder about this?
